Appeals from the action of the Zoning Committee may be as provided in 10.255 (2) (i) . (m) Abandoned conditional uses: Any use, for which a conditional use permit has been issued, upon its cessation or abandonment for a period of one year, will be deemed to have been terminated and any future use shall be in conformity of this ordinance. (3) STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: Conditional rezonings are authorized as provided herein to enable adaptation of zoning to unique circumstances regarding particular sites, uses or neighborhoods when the county has not had sufficient experience with the type of use in question to lead to treatment of the use as a conditional use. (a) Conditions on rezonings: 1. The Zoning Committee may recommend and the County Board may adopt an ordinance effecting an amendment of the zoning district map containing the condition that the change in the map will take effect on such date occurring within ( ) months of the date of County Board approval of the amendment when the first on-site in- spection for building location is made and approved for the project sought to be established, and in the event such approved inspection has not occurred by the ( ) month time period, the possibility of making effective the re-zoning will then be terminated. 2. The Zoning Committee may recommend and the County Board may adopt an ordinance effecting an amendment of the zoning district map containing the condition that -- the change in map will take effect on such date occurring within ( ) months of the date of County Board approval of the amendment when a restrictive covenant has been recorded binding the property to conditions specified in the amending ordinance, and in the event such covenant is not recorded by the end of the ( ) month time period, the possibility of making effective the re-zoning will then be terminated. Conditions specified to be in such required covenants shall be related to the pur- poses of the ordinance. They may include, as specific cases warrant, limits of permissable uses to less than the full range of uses otherwise allowable in the district into which the land is being placed. Enforcement rights over such cove- nant controls shall be a afforded to the County, the town and owners of property within 300 feet of the site. The covenant controls shall be amendable or repeal- able upon petition of the owner of the lands subject to the controls, and approval by the County Board after a hearing similar to a re-zoning hearing. A re-zoning of the lands to a different zoning district shall also act to repeal the covenant controls. Except as provided above, the covenants shall run with the land. Other similar controls appropriate to handling by covenant provisions may also be imposed. 10.26 BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT (1) PERSONNEL, TERM AND COMPENSATION (a) The Board of Adjustment shall consists of three members, appointed by the County Executive with the approval of the County Board, each serving for a term of three (3) years beginning July 1, with the term of one member expiring each year.
